Well ultimately this thread would not be used for discussion of bugs, features, releases, etc. But the only way to do that would be to lock it. I guess I can find an add-on for vB so only you can post in this thread, Jim.

When you post new Beta Version can you add the Version Number (From the Settings Panel) to the description on the download post. That way I can easily tell if I need to downloaded the latest release. Especially with the Download name being the same it's hard to keep track.
Thanks for all your hard work. |

Which is why Morgan and I have that thread locked. That way only he or I can post there and when there is a new release thats the place to check.

I just want to quickly make sure I have the latest Beta on my PC. The file name doesn't include "8b" so I can't tell from there, and the Settings Panel doesn't have 8b either. I don't know how much of the Version Number changes with each release, maybe you just need to post the last four digits?
Thanks |

The latest version is always listed at the DL site in the other thread.
If you have any need for earlier versions for any testing I keep them available on the Beta DL site located here.

How I handle it
I rename the file with the beta release in the name when downloading it. Takes just a second and removes all question as to what release it is.

De Bobo Mon,
I do the same thing. If ever in doubt, run the beta. In shocking yellow lettering it tells you what version you're running.

Beta 8d is at http://www.fish-byte.com/MA3Beta.zip
Changes: Edgar has made some changes in the code surrounding the switching of monitors, hopefully getting rid of a wide range of multimonitor bugs. I changed the fishpicker interface to limit the types of fish that can be chosen in an unregistered copy. Now only the first row of fish will be available without an MA3 Key Code. The total number of fish has not changed, but the selection is much smaller.

Sounds like good incentive...
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

Yeah, hopefully we'll break the 1-purchase per 1000-downloads barrier.

MA3_Beta8e - problems so far...
1, AltLogo.png not working. 2, There is no MA3Playlist.lst 3, The misalignment effect described here is still present... https://www.feldoncentral.com/forums...85&#post108785 (ie, - The smearing is no longer there! - but if the right-hand monitor is set for a smaller resolution say 1024x768, whilst the left-hand monitor is at 1280x1024, then instead of showing the whole of the right-hand half of MA3 at a lower resolution, it only shows a cropped area of it, but enlarged to cover the whole screen.) 4, When I click the 'Website' button, MA3 closes down and I get a 'Windows Script Host' box which states the meaningless error message: - 'There is no file extension in "D:\Program". [OK]' Last edited by cjmaddy; 01-21-2009 at 08:14 AM. |

I forgot that in Beta mode, we use the MA2.6 registry settings.
Playlist and AltLogo will be in the install folder of MA2.6. However I see a bug in putting the files together so we need to fix that. |
